What LBM includes

Lean body mass is everything that isn't fat: muscle, bone, organs, and water. The Boer formula estimates it from height and weight and is the version used clinically for drug dosing. It can't see individual muscularity — very lean or very muscular people will read low.

Why track it

In a diet, the goal is losing fat while holding LBM — adequate protein and resistance training are the levers. Comparing LBM estimates over months (same formula, same conditions) shows whether weight loss is coming from the right place.
